I am currently using toggl (http://www.toggl.com). I am not using it for billing nor for monitoring employees, but for monitoring how I spend time. The purpose is to balance work between my several projects on which I work concurrently, and also to avoid procrastination and wasting time on distractions.

I spent a lot of time (pun intended), i.e. about half a day, on searching a time tracker that would fit my needs. I was not interested in features related to billing clients, and thus I found too expensive the services that seem to be most popular, like Harvest, whose pricing starts at $12 per month if one works on more than 2 projects. I would not pay more than $1 per month for a simple time tracking service. I needed a web application / service, as opposed to client software, since I work on multiple computers. Also, the ideal service that I was looking for would have an Android app such that I could track time when I'm not using a computer.

Toggl does all of these within the free plan, however it is somehow buggy - the Android app, the desktop app and the web service do not synchronize well and I am kind of forced to use just the web service through a browser.

I would be interested to find out about other apps that would do the job.

Another great app to check out is TSheets (http://www.tsheets.com). I have no problem clocking in from my Droid or any computer - or even by simply sending a text!

wow toggl is exactly the kind of software i was looking for. I could only find super expensive software that did way too much stuff and was overcomplicated. In toggl you can just add a project, add a task manually or time it. This is perfect.
